The Testifiers

Re: #charityisnotsocialjustice It's that time of year again.... Going to let the music do the talking (nod to JP). It's not in the same pantheon as The Chieftain's "Rebel Jesus" or Willie Nelson's "Pretty Paper" but "What's Handed Down" is a similar musical message.... https://www.reverbnation.com//s/19848748-whats-handed-down More of this type of stance will be coming down the pipes when The Testifiers get rolling in the New Year. The original tune above was a collaboration with my musical brother and fellow Testifier, Mike Woods. There will be plenty more of this to come, lol! Thanks in advance for listening with your head & heart.

Thanks to Luke McFadden for the recording and sharing of this moment, to Stacy Doherty for inviting us to join in the community support, and especially to my brothers in arms, Mike Woods and Peter Faragher for being there. Special shout out to Travis Watts for answering the call from the stage to join us from the audience for our last few numbers!

The CCI students and caring staff that worked hard behind and in front of the scenes should be noted for putting their time and effort into an event that is literally about life and death. The good folks who made attending on a Friday night their priority are also to be thanked. They were even standing up and dancing during our last two songs! Mike and are are grateful for having been asked to support in our own small way. Special word of thanks to the kind, thoughtful and smiling care we received from the three musical organizers.

Playing as one half of "The Testifiers" last night in Cobourg. Had a great night and helped raise some money for a very worthy cause. Thanks to the students of CCI for having us and for all the work you put in.
